Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Ran family.

Ran Qiuye's family was waiting anxiously at home.

Father Ran sat on the sofa, pretending to read a newspaper, but his eyes looked out into the yard from time to time.

Ran's mother was accompanying Ran Qiuye and picking vegetables. She was also restless at this time.

"Qiuye, why hasn't Zhuzi come yet? Is he lost? Why don't we go out and take a look?"

Ran's mother looked at the time on the alarm clock. It was already nine o'clock, but the man hadn't come yet. She couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Mom, it's still early. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't open until 8:30. Maybe Zhuzi was delayed in shopping."

Ran Qiuye blushed and said to her mother.

Ran's mother also laughed at this time.

My daughter is already twenty-two years old, which is considered an old maid in this age where people get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

Therefore, Ran Qiuye’s marriage has always been a concern for the two elders.

Now that their daughter is about to get married, Ran's father and mother are extremely excited.

"Qiuye, after today, you two should find a time to go get your marriage certificate. This way, your mother and I will fulfill our wish."

Father Ran said to his precious daughter while reading the newspaper.

Ran Qiuye said with a pout.

"You guys really want me to get married right away? I want to stay at home with you guys and never get married."

Mother Ran said to Ran Qiuye with a smile.

"Silly girl, when a woman grows up, she will always get married. You can't even cook or wash clothes. Your father and I are really worried about your life."

"Now that you have met Zhuzi, he will tolerate everything from you, but he doesn't ask you to do anything. In the future, you should try to wash your clothes and learn to do housework."

"As a wife, you should learn to do housework and not idle away all day long."

In response to her mother's complaints, Ran Qiuye simply chose to cover her mouth.

"Okay, Mom! Don't tell anyone anything. If Zhuzi hears it and doesn't want me anymore, I'll see where you can find a son-in-law!"

Ran Qiuye said shamelessly.

At this time, the yard was noisy.

"It should be the pillar that has arrived. Let's go and take a look."

Father Ran put down the newspaper, adjusted his glasses, stood up and walked out the door.

Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye followed immediately.

Sure enough, it was Zhuzi who came.

As soon as I entered the compound, I was surrounded by the neighbors.

They all knew that this was Teacher Ran’s future son-in-law, and he came today to propose marriage.

"Zhu Zi, your clothes are not cheap, they really are. Clothes match people, saddles match horses, and dogs run happier with bells. You look really handsome in these clothes!"

"Can you speak, kid? You're like a dog with a bell. If you can't speak, just shut up."

"Zhu Zi, congratulations."

The neighbors were chattering.

He Yuzhu grabbed handfuls of fruit candies and stuffed them into his neighbors' hands.

He then took out his Daqianmen cigarette and gave cigarettes to his neighbors one by one.

"Zhu Zi, you are here!"

Ran's father came out and greeted He Yuzhu.

Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye also came out and greeted He Yuzhu.

"I'm here, chatting with the neighbors."

He Yuzhu replied cheerfully.

"Teacher Ran, your son-in-law is really generous. Your family will be blessed in the future."

A neighbor, with fruit candy in his pocket and a cigarette in his hand, happily praised He Yuzhu.

"Haha, thank you all for your respect for us, Zhuzi. How about letting Zhuzi come in and take a rest first, and then chat with everyone later?"

Most of the neighbors in the courtyard work in the education sector, and they all have a scholarly air.

Naturally, they could understand what Father Ran meant, and they all said goodbye to the Ran family and He Yuzhu happily, and then dispersed.

"Zhu Zi, come inside quickly. Although it's early spring, it's still quite cold. Come inside and warm up."

Ran's mother took the things from He Yuzhu's car and asked He Yuzhu to go into the house to rest.

Ran Qiuye was also carrying something and following behind Ran's mother.

After entering the house, Father Ran warmly invited He Yuzhu to sit down.

"Uncle Ran, Aunt Li, I came here today to propose marriage. I want to marry Ran Qiuye."

"Don't worry, I will treat Qiu Ye well and won't let her suffer any grievances. I lost my mother when I was young, and my father ran away."

"From now on, you two are my real parents. Qiuye and I will respect you well!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's sincere speech, Ran's father and mother were naturally very happy.

"Zhu Zi, we know how you feel about Qiu Ye. We only have this one daughter, and she has been the apple of our family's eye since she was young."

"As long as you two love each other and Qiu Ye lives a happy life, that is our greatest wish."

"We would be even happier if you could give us two grandchildren soon!"

Ran's mother was so happy that she wiped her tears and said to He Yuzhu.

Ran Qiuye also wiped her tears and snuggled up to her mother.

At this time, Ran's father came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot tea, handed it to He Yuzhu and scolded him.

"Look at you, why are you crying about such a happy thing? Go wash the fruit."

In order to prevent Ran's mother from ruining the atmosphere, Ran's father asked her to wash the fruit.

Ran's mother smiled, wiped her tears, and went to the kitchen with a few pears.

He Yuzhu handed a cloth bag at his feet to Ran Qiuye.

"There are various fruits here. Go and help wash some."

Ran Qiuye took the bag and went to the kitchen.

Now only Ran's father and He Yuzhu are in the living room, and Ran's father is asking He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, how is your work going recently? Is everything going well?"

As the head of the family, Mr. Ran's domineering aura suddenly emerged.

He Yuzhu nodded.

"It's OK. I heard that the factory will add more production lines in a while, and may hire a large number of new people, but they may also add a new canteen."

Father Ran nodded and said.

"After a few busy days, the country is now in a state of disrepair. Western countries have been suppressing us. The busier the factories are, the faster the country will be built."

He Yuzhu also nodded.

"Hasn't it been their way to unite and suppress countries they consider hostile?"

"But we cannot be defeated or frightened. I believe our country will become stronger."

Father Ran suddenly said to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, I heard from Qiu Ye that you have a radio at home, so you must have listened to some news reports. What do you think about the sudden withdrawal of experts by the Russian bear?"

He Yuzhu was not surprised by Ran's father's question.

These intellectuals just like to talk about these things.

However, He Yuzhu was not afraid. In later life, when he had nothing to do, he would read relevant information about that era.

after all.

I came from that era and can be said to be a witness.

"The new leader of the Russian bear country is pro-Bald Eagle. Because we are not under the control of the Russian bear, they think we are a destabilizing factor."

"When we become stronger, we become a threat to them. That's why the Russian bears withdrew their experts to end our fantasy of the giant mushroom."

"But we are invincible. We will move forward even if there are difficulties. Even if there are no difficulties, we will create difficulties and move forward."

"Just wait and see. They look down on us now, but in the future, they will not be able to reach us."

He Yuzhu said this seriously, and these words also resonated with Ran's father.

It was also for the sake of this newly established country that he and his family resolutely returned from the favorable environment abroad to this suffering country.

Therefore, Father Ran's love for this country is strong and deep.

So when he heard He Yuzhu's words, he resonated with them.

I also like this future son-in-law more and more.

The two were chatting when Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye came out carrying some fruits.

Seeing the two old men chatting happily, I couldn't help but feel happy.

"What are you talking about? You are so good at chatting, Zhuzi, you don't know, your uncle Ran is very noble. In school, the people who can chat with him are more than you can finish with a slap."

Ran's mother seized the opportunity and betrayed her husband, which made Ran's father anxiously explain.

"What do you mean they can't talk to me? Are they ignorant, or is Zhuzi right? He has the same opinion as me."

He Yuzhu was happy to see that the whole family was having a good time. At least, the Ran family were not the kind of people who would cause trouble.

I looked at the time and it was time to cook.

Ran's mother was about to get up to cook, but was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"Aunt Li, let me cook. I'll make you some Tan's dishes."

Tan's cuisine.

Ran's father and mother also knew that it was a government dish.

Those who can eat it are either rich or noble.

However, asking guests to cook is not a good way to entertain guests.

Father Ran also missed the meals cooked by He Yuzhu.

Ever since he ate the food cooked by He Yuzhu, he looked down on the food cooked by his wife and kept complaining about it.

'It is said that the dishes Zhuzi cooks with his eyes closed are ten times more delicious than yours.'

When she heard that her husband wanted to eat the food cooked by Zhuzi, Ran's mother glared at Ran's father and blamed him.

"Zhu Zi is a guest today, how can we let him cook for us?"

He Yuzhu stood up and said with a smile.

"It's okay. We'll be a family from now on. Besides, I'm a cook. Cooking is my job and my hobby."

He Yuzhu tied an apron, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

Ran Qiuye also followed He Yuzhu into the kitchen to see if there was anything she could do to help.

quickly.

From the kitchen came the sound of cutting vegetables.

After a while, the sound of cooking was heard again.

Ran's father and mother in the living room were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

My daughter will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future, now that she has met a good son-in-law like Zhuzi.

Zhuzi got a big lobster in the alien space, steamed it in a pot, and put fried garlic chili sauce on it. A steamed lobster dish was ready.

When the garlic shrimp was served, the whole dining room was filled with the aroma of garlic.

This is a new dish developed by He Yuzhu in his previous life by combining Sichuan cuisine techniques.

Then came another improved dish - soft fried chicken.

Unlike the soft fried chicken of Tan’s cuisine, this is the way a certain Deji fried chicken was cooked in the previous life.

Paired with the ketchup made by He Yuzhu in the alien space, the taste is also unique.

Then there are the five-colored fish.

This is a famous dish of Tan family cuisine.

However, He Yuzhu did not use the traditional cooking methods of Tan family cuisine.

Instead, he used the method of cooking squirrel fish that he learned in his previous life.

First, deep-fry the cut grass carp in oil, then add tomato sauce and sugar to make sugar color, thicken with a thin starch, and pour it on the fish.

The fish meat, cut into pieces, stood up one by one, forming a large ball, and looked as beautiful as a squirrel's tail.

The last dish was the Chai Ba duck.

It is both a dish and a soup.

However, the preparation of this dish requires slow cooking.

So make it at the last minute so that you can eat while waiting for this dish.

He Yuzhu took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen.

"Zhu Zi, come here and have a few drinks with me."

Father Ran took out a bottle of Wuliangye and said to He Yuzhu who was walking out.

He Yuzhu nodded and sat next to Ran's father.

Father Ran poured a glass of wine for He Yuzhu, raised his glass and said.

"Zhu Zi, I will hand Qiu Ye over to you now. If one day you don't love her anymore, please don't hit her. Just let her come back. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Father Ran said seriously.

He Yuzhu raised his wine glass and spoke seriously.

"Uncle Ran, Aunt Li, please rest assured that I will spend my whole life loving Qiu Ye. If I can't do it, God will strike me with lightning!!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, he was pulled back by Ran's father and mother.

"Zhu Zi, don't say these things carelessly. We all believe in your feelings. As long as you live well, we will be relieved. Come, have dinner."

There was a lot of joy at the dinner table, and He Yuzhu and the Ran family also had a great conversation.

At the end of the meal, He Yuzhu suddenly spoke to the Ran family in a very serious tone.

"Uncle Ran, Aunt Li, I want Qiu Ye to quit her job as a teacher at Red Star Primary School, but I will find her another job. Anyway, she just doesn't have to be a teacher!"

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, the Ran family fell silent.

Their Ran family has been a scholarly family for generations, and all of their members are teachers.

Now Ran Qiuye was suddenly asked to resign from his job as a teacher, which made Ran Qiuye a little bit unacceptable.

Just as he was about to speak, Ran's father spoke first.

"Zhu Zi, can you tell me the reason?"

He Yuzhu was in a dilemma.

I can't say that I knew that three years later, in 1965, a tsunami would hit the entire Dragon Kingdom and last for ten years.

By then, most of the intellectuals have become the lowest class and are the ones to be liquidated.

In the original novel, Ran Qiuye was also dismissed from his teaching position at this time.

Became a cleaner in the school.

He Yuzhu didn't want Ran Qiuye to be affected by the tsunami like in his previous life.

Get out of that pit now, maybe you can avoid disaster in a few years.

"Uncle Ran, please believe me. I will never harm Qiu Ye. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I have difficulties that I can't tell you right now."

Seeing He Yuzhu's sincere and anxious expression, Ran's father decided to believe He Yuzhu.

"Okay, I choose to believe you. I just hope that what you say is true."

After saying that, Father Ran said to Ran Qiuye.

"Qiuye, you can resign after this semester. But even if you are still teaching, you must not slack off and be careless. You must do your last shift well!!"

Although Ran Qiuye was unwilling, he still nodded in agreement.

She didn't understand why she lost her job after getting married.

"By the way, this is the household registration booklet. Tomorrow you will go to your respective workplaces to get the certificates issued, and then find time to get the marriage certificate. As for the marriage, our family can just have a simple meal together."

Ran's mother took out the household registration booklet and put it on the table.

He Yuzhu happily put away the household registration book and said.

"Uncle Ran, Aunt Li, thank you!"

"You're still calling me uncle and auntie. Shouldn't you change your way of speaking?"

Ran's mother said with a smile.

He Yuzhu scratched his head and shouted embarrassedly.

“Dad…Mom…!”

"Hey, this is a red envelope for changing your name, take it quickly!"

......

The marriage proposal was a complete success.

On the second day, He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye got a marriage introduction letter from their workplace.

As for resigning, let's talk about it later. After all, this semester still has two or three months to go.

He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye took some time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get their marriage certificate.

Looking at the marriage certificate he filled out, He Yuzhu's hands were shaking.

"I can finally eat fresh meat, and no longer have to eat second-hand meat."

Thinking about the previous life.

One is Lou Xiao'e, the other is Qin Huairu, but they are both second-hand.

I never had a bite of fresh meat until I died. Now that I think about it, it’s such a loss.

"Zhu Zi, let's go buy some candy, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. and give them to the neighbors in the courtyard to make everyone happy!"

Although Ran Qiuye didn't have a good impression of Zhuzi's courtyard house.

But considering that I will be living there in the future, it would be better not to make the relationship too awkward.

Originally, He Yuzhu would not even invite Mao to the Siheyuan for dinner.

But thinking that Ran Qiuye would also live in a courtyard in the future, he agreed to Ran Qiuye's suggestion.

So the two of them went to Wangfujing Department Store and bought candy, melon seeds, etc.

Who would have thought that just as I returned to the courtyard and was distributing wedding candies to my neighbors, something unexpected happened again.
